COUNTING FIGURES PRACTICE QUESTIONS

Before moving on to the practice questions let us have a look at some of the tricks important for the
counting of triangles, rectangles and squares, that would be very helpful in solving the questions and
will make them easy.

TRICKS FOR TRIANGLES


ADDITION OF DIVIDED PARTS

= 1+2
=3

= 1+2+3
=6

= 1+2+3+4
= 10
= 1+2+3+4+5
= 15

WHEN PARTS ARE DIVIDED IN PARTS

= (1+2) x 2
= 3x2
=6

= (1+2+3) x 2
=6x2
= 12
= (1+2+3) x 3
= 6 x3
= 18

= (1+2+3+4+5) x 5
= 15 x5
= 75

TRICKS FOR COUNTING SQUARES


• When row is equal to column.
• When row is not equal to column.
SQUARE
When row = column

R=4
C=4
1²+ 2² + 3² + 4² = 30
When row ≠ column

R=3
C=4
= (4 x3) + (3 x 2) + (2 x1)
= 12+6+2
= 20

TRICKS FOR COUNTING RECTANGLES

• When Row = Column


• When Row ≠ Column
When Row ≠ column

R=3
C=4
= row x column
= (1+2+3) x (1+2+3+4)
= 6 x 10
= 60
When Row = Column

R=4
C=4
= row x column
= (1+2+3+4) x (1+2+3+4)
=> 10 x 10 = 100
HOW MANY TRIANGLES

4x 2 = 8

6 x 2 = 12

8 x 2 = 16

= (4 x 2) + (4 x 2)
=8+8
= 16+ (2)
= 18
= (8 x 2) + (1+2)
= 16+ 3
= 19 + (2)
= 21

= (4x2) + (4x2) + (4x2)


= 8+8+8
= 24+4
= 28
